Patented 0613. 22, 1918.

Application led August 31, 1916. Serial No. 117,847.

To all 'whom it may concern.'

Be it known that I, FRANK C. RoNK, a citizen of the United States, residing at Canton, in the county of Stark'and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Gas- Burner, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to gas burners and has more especial reference to burners arranged to be placed within the fire pot of hot air furnaces or steam or hot water boilers, and is adapted for use in furnaces especially adapted for the use of gas as fuel or may be placed within the fire pot of a furnac2 designed for the use of coal or other fue The obj ect of the invention is to provide a gas burner which may be placed Within the re pot of a hot air furnace or steam or hot water boiler.

A further object is to provide a burner of the character mentioned which may be used in furnaces constructed for the consumption of coal or other fuel.

A still further object is to provide a burner of this type which may be easily and readily adjusted to fit within furnaces of dierent sizes.

With these objects in view the invention consists in the novel construction and arrangement of parts, hereinafter described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and particularly pointed out in the appended claims, it being understood that various changes in the form, proportions, size and minor details of construction may be made within the scope of the appended claims without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages of the invention.

In the accompanying drawings:

Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view through the fire pot of a furnace, showing my improved burner located therein.

Fig. 2 is al vertical sectional view of one of the burner tubes.

Fig. 3 is a top plan view of an assembled burner.

Fig. 4 is a transverse section, on an enlarged-scale, taken on the line 4 4, Fig. 2.

Fig. 5 is a bottom plan view of one of the burner tubes.

Similar numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views of the drawings.

The burner is preferably formed of two similar, oppositely disposed sections adapted to be located within the iire pot of a furnace and properly spaced with relation to each other and the interior walls of the fire pot. As each of the two sections of which the burner is formed is the same in construction as the other section, with the exception that the distributing chambers of the sections are oppositely disposed, it is only thought necessary to describe one of the sections.

Referring to the construction illustrated in the accompanying drawings, the numeral 1 indicates the walls of the fire pot of a furnace of any ordinary and well known construction and the numeral 2 indicates the usual grate contained therein, upon which my improved burner is located as will be hereinafter described.

The numeral .3 indicates the distributing chamber which is preferably semi-circular in form as best shown in Fig. 3, said chamber being closed at its extremities and connected to a gas supply pipe 4, which supply pipe may be connected to a gas main or any other suitable source of artificial or natural gas. The distributing chamber is arranged to be located upon the grate bars 2 as shown in Fig. l. A suitable regulating cut-off valve 5 is provided in the pipe and a mixing chamber 6 of any usual and well known construction is also located therein.

A series of spaced vertically disposedburner tubes 7, of elongated form are provided upon the upper face of the distributing chamber and communicate with the interior of said distributing chamber, each of said burner tubes being provided with an aperture 8 in its lower extremity adapted to receive a short tube 9, which is screw threaded into the upper wall of the distributing chamber. Each of the burner tubes is substantially elliptical in cross section throughout its lower portion, the upper end of each tube being tapered as shown at 10 a screw threaded plug 11 being provided for the purpose of closing the upper extremity of the burner tube, thus aording easy access to the interior of the burner tube when it is desired to clean the same. A partition 12 is provided in the lower portion of each burner tube thus dividing the lower part of the tube into compartments 13 and 14. The outer wall of each burner tube adjacent the compartment 14 is provided with a series of apertures 15, arranged in any suitable manburner tubes. The arrangement ofthe openings can be varied as desired without, ofy

course, departing from the invention.

In applying the burner above described to a furnace two oppositely disposed burner sectionsare placed in position as shown in Figs. l and 3 upon the grate bars of the furnace and the burner sections being movable with, relation to each other Amay be properly located bringing the `burner tubes into the properPOStion lwith relation to the walls of"the,re pot.

By constructing each of the burner tubes in ithe form, bestrshown in Fig. 2 of the drawings, the gas will be evenly distributed to all parts of theburner tube following the path of the arrows shown in said figure, thus obtaining, an even gas pressure throughout all of the apertures l5.

Although the. drawings and above specification disclose the best mode in which I have contemplated embodying my invention I desire to be'not. limited to the details of such disclosure, for, in the `further practical application of my invention, many changes in. form and construction may be made,as circumstances require or experience suggests, without departing from the spirit of the invention, within the scope,Y of the appended claims.,

I claim:

l. A gils, burner comprising curved gas distributing chambers arranged to rest upon the grate bars of a furnace, a series of par- J a vertically disposed burner tubeI mountedv upon each of said short tubes, said burner tubes provided with apertures upon their outer faces and mixing chambers connected to the. distributing chambers.

3. A gas burner comprisingO curvedgas distributing chambers, arranged to lrest ,upon

the grate bars of a furnace and adapted to be moved apart to bringvthem in closeproximity to thewalls of fire pots .of various sizes, a series of parallel, vertically disposedv burner tubes connected to theupper sides of said chambers, said burner tubes provided with apertures upon their outer faces and mixing chambers connected to said distributing chambers.

In testimony thatl I claim thev above, I have hereunto subscribed my name.
